The new control scheme – which eschews awkward “tank controls” in favor of characters moving in the direction of the analog stick – works wonders here, especially when controlling both characters with both sticks at once. Controlling both Rebecca and Billy, sometimes simultaneously, is a unique departure from the standard formula. Rebecca teams up with fugitive Billy Coen as they explore a runaway luxury train, abandoned Umbrella Training Facility, and other appropriately ominous locales that tie into the early RE games in fun ways.
Resident Evil 0 is the last hardcore survival horror entry in the series, before the juggernaut Resident Evil 4 sparked a dramatic paradigm shift away from the demanding resource management, complex puzzles, and fixed camera angles.
